The shows are very short and start on-time. Each grade sings 2-3 songs and this only lasts 10-15 minutes per grade level. Please be on time.

We thank our Music Teacher/Director, Mr. Eli Silverstein, and his allied arts team for planning and having these events to showcase our performing arts program.

Please no balloons in the building. We have students with allergies and they often end up lost in the rafters.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As we transition into the warmer months, we're excited to announce our Half-Day Summer Program. Our program will be held at the Shaughnessy. Students currently in grades Kindergarten thru third grade will be able to enroll. We will not be offering bus transportation. There is also no Busy Bees program.

The Program will run from July 7th to August 1st, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 to 12:00. During this time, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities tailored to their interests and developmental needs.

To register your child for our Half-Day Summer Program please use the link below.

As we begin to think of the next school year we wanted to keep our grade 4 families informed about certain end-of-the-year activities and events. All current grade 4 students are scheduled to attend the Butler School next fall. You do not need to do anything. The students are automatically enrolled. CSA grade 4 students will be placed in different schools. If you do not want the Butler School you can attempt to transfer your student by contacting the Family Resource Center.

Here are important dates for current fourth grade students:

• May 22nd - Butler Parent Meeting for Shaughnessy Grade 4 Families - 9:00-10:00 am or 5:00-6:00 pm

Students in grades K-4 can enter school from 8:40-9:00 am to eat breakfast in the cafeteria. After 9:00 am, the students will wait until we open regular breakfast at 9:10 am. The children will be monitored by school staff. This program is a privilege and not a right. If students are struggling with the rules, they will not be able to participate in the program.

The students will enter the building by the main entrance and school staff and cafeteria personnel will be there for supervision.

The Lowell Public Schools Transportation Department has added a live spreadsheet to its webpage that indicates in the AM or PM if a school bus (grades K-8) is running late and by how long. Click below to access:

We primarily use Class Dojo as a communication application from school. The teachers will be inviting you to join the messaging, so you can be aware of all of the happenings. Please reach out to the teachers with questions.

Here are the arrival dismissal procedures for this year. Please do not park / live park in the fire lanes around arrival and dismissal. These lanes are for buses, not cars.
